7 Vital Things Esports Need To Improve On

4. RNG (And Hearthstone)

Almost every game has RNG, from PUBG's "circle and loot" luck, to critical strikes in DOTA2 and League of Legends. The times when you’ve got an unsuccessful roll on the dice can be infuriating, especially when there’s literally nothing you can do about it. Still, nothing abuses this element as much as Hearthstone.

Nearly everything in the game is affected by RNG, from card draws itself to the randomness of a cards' effects, such as Ragnaros or Yogg-Saron. There is an element of skill and knowledge to the game, but to let a game be decided due to a card being drawn last that is crucial to your deck, is kind of an unfortunate mechanic to have in eSports.

Back to the olympic sport comparison/goal, and none of them elements of RNG like video games.
